    Guild Wars 2 Press Beta [Loads of Gameplay Videos]

    Thanks for this. I was trying to Google coverage together and I hit on this. Definitely going to start wading my way through after dinner.

    Forever Alone (And Why Therapy Doesn't Seem to Get It)

    I rarely reply to anything but for whatever reason I decided too. I agree with a lot of the advice given here, your therapist sounds like she was on the money but sometimes an answer can be hard to accept. Even though the emotions are negative, as a species we tend to enjoy wallowing in them...

    Have you ever had to turn a games music off because it was so bad?

    Hm... WoW, it got boring fast. Deadly Premonition, vastly inappropriate to mood and typically set much louder then the dialogue (can really notice it in the scene when you talk to the innkeeper for the first time at breakfast). Then again that game was vastly inappropriate to mood and setting...

    Old Games you remember playing but can't remember the name of.

    Oh my gawd! That's it! Thank you so much!!! I've been hunting for this game for a long time now, I've posted in a few of these "can't remember the title" threads around and your the first to know it <3 <3 <3. That's without a doubt in my mind, Alundra 2...

    Horror Games and You

    I'm not sure if you've heard of this from your comment, but just incase you haven't, he is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqtJpcYjk3s :D I'm really hopeful for it as his work on quite a few dark, horror-esque movies have been fantastic on the O.O side of things. I can't wait for monster...

    I'n going to guess you're thinking of the first Alundra. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk8TB3Csqhw&playnext=1&list=PL9CDB2A1ADE3843F4 Edit: I'll add my own query though it's vague... A long time ago on my families old computer, that used an OS that wasn't Windows sometimes in the mid...

    Horror Games and You

    Horror games are my favourite genre, and unfourtunately the hardest to find. I used to hate horror as a genre but I played Fatal Frame 2 a long time ago and I've been hooked since. I'll usually play one by myself or with a friend and sometimes a bunch of my friends will get together for a...

    Video games you gave up on soley due to difficulty

    This is true, but sometimes it's fun to overanalyze and discuss :). Edit: And to stay on topic, a game so easy I got bored and stopped playing it, Assassin's Creed 2, at a particular point in the game when you get a few abilities (counter-attack) it becomes laughable, especially when they...

    Death to the Mana Bar!

    It is awesome to just whip out spells like it was no small thing. But, stamina should play in, everyone has limits to how far and long they can push themselves and I don't see channeling the arcane arts being any different from that. I've always seen the mana bar more like a stamina bar, but...

    Video games you gave up on soley due to difficulty

    Hmmm... I'd have to say on the difficult side of the equation is was Galerians: Ash, the game wasn't necessarily difficult in skill level required so much as "grind for six hours or die" difficulty. I dropped it not long after the mission where you venture out of the compound for the first time...

    That Game you can't Remember

    Mickey Mouse: World of Illusion? It had a candy land like level... not sure about the bear. I played a game just like this on the ps1, maybe the same game... Dragon Seeds. Gosh loved that game (even though it wasn't all that good lol) thanks for the reminder. Though as a side note I...

    That Game you can't Remember

    Okay I'm going to try this, been desperate to figure this out for a long time. It was a really old PC game, I would've played it sometime in the 90's. A dungeon crawler RPG with supremely dated graphics, very minimal. You played some guy who's village was destroyed, family killed and after...

    Review: Silent Hill: Shattered Memories

    I really enjoyed this game personally, the exploration, the nightmare, the puzzles. I admit one of the chase scenes had me throwing my controller around, but the puzzles and having fun with all the game mechanics they added easily overshadowed that brief frustration. I liked the idea of the...

    Quarantine [Zombie Survival RP]

    Sophie was tired. Desperate for rest she knelt beside the trash bin in a narrow alley beside an abandoned restaurant. She imagined it was popular before the outbreak, soft lighting and dark wood paneled walls, with deep red carpets and seats. She had noticed the front window was busted in...

    Final Fantasy XIV Online? What are your thoughts?

    I'm hoping they bring back the Blue Mage in the same style it is right now in FFXI, I love that job. And thinking of jobs I would really love it if they had all the jobs available unlocked from the start. If they aren't doing sub-jobs again I don't want to level a job I'm not keeping just to...
